We improve a result due to Masser and Zannier, who showed that the set $$ \{\lambda \in {\mathbb C} \setminus \{0,1\} : (2,\sqrt{2(2-\lambda)}), (3,\sqrt{6(3-\lambda)}) \in (E_\lambda)_{\text{tors}}\} $$ is finite, where $E_\lambda \colon…
Let $E_\lambda$ be the Legendre elliptic curve of equation $Y^2=X(X-1)(X-\lambda)$. We recently proved that, given $n$ linearly independent points $P_1(\lambda), \dots,P_n(\lambda)$ on $E_\lambda$ with coordinates in…
Motivated by recent work of Masser and Zannier on simultaneous torsion on the Legendre elliptic curve $E_\lambda$ of equation $Y^2=X(X-1)(X-\lambda)$, we prove that, given $n$ linearly independent points $P_1(\lambda), ...,P_n(\lambda)$ on…
We give new parametrisations of elliptic curves in Weierstrass normal form $y^2=x^3+ax^2+bx$ with torsion groups $\mathbb{Z}/10\mathbb{Z}$ and $\mathbb{Z}/12\mathbb{Z}$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, and with $\mathbb{Z}/14\mathbb{Z}$ and…
In this article, we consider a family of elliptic curves defined by $E_{m}: y^2= x^3 -m^2 x + (pqr)^2 $ where $m $ is a positive integer and $p, q, ~\text{and}~ r$ are distinct odd primes and study the torsion as well the rank of…
Let $L$ be a field of positive characteristic $p$ with a fixed algebraic closure $\overline{L}$, and let $\alpha_1,\alpha_2,\beta\in L$. For an integer $d\ge 2$, we consider the family of polynomials $f_{\lambda}(z) := z^d+\lambda$,…
This article considers the family of elliptic curves given by $E_{pq}: y^2=x^3-5pqx$ and certain conditions on odd primed $p$ and $q$. More specifically, we have proved that if $p \equiv 33 \pmod {40}$ and $ q \equiv 7 \pmod {40}$, then the…
We show that the perfect Euler brick (perfect cuboid) problem is equivalent to the following elementary question: do there exist coprime integers $a, b, m, n$ such that the two expressions $(2(a^2-b^2)mn)^2 + ((a^2+b^2)(m^2-n^2))^2$ and…
In this article, we study the logarithmic Mahler measure of the one-parameter family \[Q_\alpha=y^2+(x^2-\alpha x)y+x,\] denoted by $m(Q_\alpha)$. The zero loci of $Q_\alpha$ generically define elliptic curves $E_\alpha$ which are…
We give two constructions of families of elliptic curves over cubic or quartic fields with three, respectively four, `integral' elements in the kernel of the tame symbol on the curves. The fields are in general non-Abelian, and the elements…
In this paper, we consider two infinite parametric families of elliptic curves defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ given by the equations $E_{a,b} : y^{2} = x^{3} - a^{2}x + b^{2}$ and $E^{\prime}_{a,b} : y^{2} = x^{3} - a^{2}x + b^{6}$, where $a,b…
We call a pair of distinct prime powers $(q_1,q_2) = (p_1^{a_1},p_2^{a_2})$ a Hasse pair if $|\sqrt{q_1}-\sqrt{q_2}| \leq 1$. For such pairs, we study the relation between the set $\mathcal{E}_1$ of isomorphism classes of elliptic curves…
In this note we study numbers which occur as conductors of elliptic curves over Q. We show, by constructing families of elliptic curves with quadratic discriminant and invoking a theorem of Iwaniec, that this set contains infinitely many…
Let $e_1,e_2,e_3$ be nonzero integers satisfying $e_1+e_2+e_3=0$. Let $(a,b,c)$ be a primitive triple of odd integers satisfying $e_1a^2+e_2b^2+e_3c^2=0$. Denote by $E: y^2=x(x-e_1)(x+e_2)$ and $\mathcal E: y^2=x(x-e_1a^2)(x+e_2b^2)$.…

Let $E_{\lambda}$ be the Legendre family of elliptic curves with equation $Y^2=X(X-1)(X-\lambda)$. Given a curve $\mathcal{C}$, satisfying a condition on the degrees of some of its coordinates and parametrizing $m$ points $P_1, \ldots, P_m…
We consider the escaping parameters in the family $\beta\wp_\Lambda$, i.e. these parameters for which the orbits of critical values of $\beta\wp_\Lambda$ approach infinity, where $\wp_\Lambda$ is the Weierstrass function. Unlike to the…
We study an infinite family of $j$-invariant zero elliptic curves $E_{D}:y^{2}=x^{3}+16D$ and their $\lambda$-isogenous curves $E_{D'}:y^{2}=x^{3}-27\cdot16D$, where $D$ and $D' = -3D$ are fundamental discriminants of a specific form, and…
